Turn off flash and use Natural Light

We recommend to strictly turn off the flashlights and use the natural lights because the newborn is too sensitive to the lights. So, fix the shooting place near to the large open window, so there is no chance for using flash or another external light source. Also, the natural lights add warmth and give a realistic light effect.

Use best accessories

While purchasing the accessories for newborns start with small and new things and don’t go for costly things. Buy creative and cute things like hairbands, hats, baskets, and fabrics like cotton, wool and select the color based on the gender of the baby. For girl babies, pink and white are the common colors and the same for boy babies blue, yellow, and red are the common colors.

Make a good atmosphere

It is the necessary thing to make the surroundings as a favorite atmosphere of the newborn. Check the room temperature, lightings. Carefully use the accessories, while using wraps to get the parent’s help and use the soft material since the baby’s skin is too soft and sensitive. Carefully use the other decorative things like rabbit hats, beads, and hand bands and give the best style of output.

Turn on the sleeping Music

Sleeping music is available on YouTube, plays the music while shooting to make a child fall asleep. Also, turn on the “womb sound “the sound that all baby hears in their mom’s womb. If you switch on the sound it makes the baby feel relax and comfortable.
